Kilgore: Reader gives her support to Berumen Farm

"I read your columns in the FV weekly paper. Since you are the go-to person for FV local businesses, I thought this mention might make for a good column in support of buying in FV. I recently visited the Berumen Produce Farm on the corner of Heil and Euclid to try out their organic produce. I have been looking forward to strawberry season and realized they are in full swing at the Berumen Farm. I bought some strawberries to try out and they were delicious. Our family is happy to support local businesses, especially the local farmers."

Nora, excellent suggestion. I visited with farm owner Javier Berumen, and sampled the very sweet juicy strawberries. It's $10 for three baskets (flats are offered, too). There are also all organic veggies grown right here – beets, cilantro, radishes and more. Stop by, observe this beautiful 20-acre farm and come home with fresh and tasty fruits and vegetables. Open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.

SURF CITY BEADS

I've visited this long established bead store for many years. It's an excellent source for all your beading needs and classes are offered, too. There is a sign in the window letting customers know it's only open on Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The staff really knows just about everything there is to know about beads and beading. Beginning beaders and those who are advanced are all treated warmly.

Ask about private lessons when you visit. Surf City Beads is in Fountain Valley at 18061 Magnolia St., near Talbert Avenue. Info: surfcitybeads.com or 714-843-9188.

TOSHI'S SUSHI

In the same center, Toshi's Sushi is now closed. This was a cute little spot, with good service and good sushi. The phone has been disconnected. Toshi's was at 18041 Magnolia St.
